New Technique Creates 3D Images Through a Single Lens 56
Zothecula writes "A team at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has come up with a promising new way to create 3D images from a stationary camera or microscope with a single lens. Rather than expensive hardware, the technique uses a mathematical model to generate images with depth and could find use in a wide range of applications, from creating more compelling microscopy imaging to a more immersive experience in movie theaters."

No, that's 3D, 3D is when the eyes see slightly differing images and interpret that as a scene with depth.
The definition you're using is highly non-standard and completely misses the point. A movie will always require that you be sitting in the right place. Just as one doesn't typically watch a Broadway play from backstage. Or aren't those plays 3D?
